firefighters were ordered not to go into the building. firefighters had it under control in about an hour. the building was under renovation and everyone inside got out safely. cold weather shelters open up just in the nick of time here in the south bay. we have a live report coming up. and the search continues in idaho this morning for a plane carrying a san jose family. the plane was lost 36 hours ago. mark kelly following the developing story joins us from the family's home in san jose with the very latest now on the search. mark. >> reporter: well, frank, as the search resumes this morning, neighbors here in this san jose community are very concerned. the missing plane is registered to dale smith, who lives here at mindy way and snell avenue. neighbors say yesterday, smith's wife headed to idaho to help in the search effort. the search continues this

morning for pilot dale smith. neighbors know smith as an experienced pilot, mormon and father of five. >> i hope that everything is okay. i really, really do. >> reporter: monday, authorities had to stop the search due to heavy snow and poor visibility in idaho. the single-engine beach bonanza was believed to be five family members -- believed to have five family members on board was flying from oregon to montana. the pilot reported engine trouble and then lost contact with controllers. >> he flies frequently so i'm surprised that he has gone down or missing or whatever has happened. you know, when he goes on these trips, he stays in touch with everybody and all the airports or where ever he is landing. it's something to be worried about. >> reporter: idaho officials haven't confirmed that smith is the pilot and what family members are on the plane, but neighbors believe smith was flying for pleasure with at least two of his children on

board. >> we hope they locate them and they're fine. we will hold on to hope until we hear something. . >> reporter: now, just a little bit more about dale smith. he is the founder and president of a san jose-based company, and that company is called serial tech. and they service the data storage industry. live in san jose, mark kelly, kpix 5. >> thank you. smith has been flying for years now. he got his pilot license in 2005 and has a second class medical certification which does allow him to fly commercial aircraft. let's check the morning commute. >> it's windy. lawrence will have much more on this but chp just issued a wind advisory for the carquinez bridge. i noticed it driving into work this morning, the leaves were blowing all around. it's a two hands on the steering wheel kind of morning and chp noticed it as well on interstate 80. bay bridge stacking up quickly towards the foot of the maze. they turned on the metering

lights earlier side of normal let's say that a little before 6:00. it looks like it's building across the span now. westbound 80 we are seeing slow sensors as you approach yerba buena island. no incidents out there right now. there was an earlier fender- bender but it's cleared. chp also issued another weather- related travel advisory. it's slick now some drizzle coming down highway 17 near the summit. they are saying to use extra caution this morning as you travel through the santa cruz mountains heading towards los gatos. also there's another accident just reported this time in petaluma. for a while all lanes were blocked. now just one lane is blocked southbound 101 approaching east washington street. but there are some delays heading southbound in the commute direction. we'll have more "kcbs traffic" coming up. in the meantime, how low are we going to go? here's lawrence with the forecast. >> with the weather. >> boy, it's going to be the coldest outbreak so far of the season. in fact, we are just beginning to see the cold front moving into the bay area. once that cold front moves on

by, the temperatures really going to drop. out the door scattered showers, picked up on our hi-def doppler radar. mainly widely scattered showers into the north bay along the marin headlands. you see more showers making their way in that direction. the rain is not going to be the big story with the system. it's going to be the cold temperatures. not only today but over the in next few days. mostly cloudy skies over sfo. possible delays there today. temperatures now in the 40s and the 50s and not going to get a whole lot warmer than this as cold air is coming from the arctic making for chilly temperatures. in fact, tonight and tomorrow morning, some of these overnight lows likely going to be in the 20s and 30s. that's when the skies clear out, the winds subside and we'll see those coldest temperatures very good chance we could see a hard freeze in some of the north bay valleys and also into the delta. so we're watching that very closely over the next few days. highs today only 53 degrees in fremont. 56 degrees in san francisco. and about 54 degrees in san jose. you see blue over the

mountains, guys? those are temperatures for highs only in the 40s. that's the latest forecast. back to you. >> thank you. as the cold spell hits the bay area, three cold weather shelters have just opened up in santa clara county to help the homeless stay warm. kiet do is at a shelter in sunnyvale this morning. kiet, many are taking advantage of the shelters while others are finding warmth on the overnight vta line known as "hotel 22." >> reporter: yeah. as the temperature is dipping down here, we're really thinking about a lot of people who have to stay out in the elements. it feels like within the past hour or so the temperature has dropped about 5 to 10 degrees so you can definitely feel the chill. take a look inside at this shelter. no rest for the weary. these guys were woken up about 5 a.m. sharp. they have 275 beds here. when i say beds, i use that term very loosely. it's just a mattress on the floor with a blanket and towel. we have three locations one in sunnyvale. this is the biggest one. there's one in san jose. and gilroy.

they are all open through the end of march. this will make a very small dent. there are 7,000 homeless in santa clara county at night. 40 people died this year from cold weather. we ran into numerous veterans who came upon hard times. >> homeless people doesn't necessarily mean they want to be homeless like myself. i'm working but it's not enough to get me out of this situation. i'm not homeless because i'm lazy or a drunk. it's just my current situation that came upon me. >> safer and warmer than being on the streets. i don't want to ride the bus all night but it's just got the best thing going that i know of besides going to a hospital. >> reporter: that man you just heard from was james breslin. he is riding on what's known as "hotel 22." that is vta's bus line 22. and it's sort of a place that the homeless go to stay warm and dry in the other months of

the year. it's amazing these guys have been riding this bus for years now. we'll take you on that, it's kind of a heartbreaking and tragic story. back to you. >> kiet, you road vta line 22 overnight. what is it like for the people on that bus? >> reporter: it definitely is as i said warm and dry. a lot of them trying to sleep and when i say try it's tough because it's a 25-mile stretch a lot of stopping and starting, the lights come back on. they say they are able to get a little bit of energy to get them through the next day. >> all right. it's tough out there. kiet do live in sunnyvale, thank you. happening today, a new planned parenthood facility set to open up in san mateo county. it's in the north fair oaks area right outside redwood city. protestors are trying to stop it. and as kpix 5's ryan takeo reports, this cops two years after a public backlash prevented the clinic from opening nearby. >> it's troubling to our community that this kind of

healthcare is coming and a break down of family values. >> reporter: linda potter has lived in redwood city for 50 years. she and a vocal group of protestors are opposed to the opening of a planned parenthood clinic on el camino real. potter says it's not just about abortion. she says the clinic will lower property values. >> this isn't helping. this used to be a family restaurant where they could have community. and now it's a blight. >> we have come to expect protestors at our health centers. i think there is a vocal community of protestors here. >> reporter: the spokesman argues there is a need in redwood city for planned parenthood. >> only 3% of abortion services and in fact at this location we are not going to do abortions by surgery, just abortion by medication. >> reporter: if this all sounds familiar that's because planned parenthood has been down this road before in redwood city. in fact, the last proposal was about a block away two years ago. back then, the lack of parking spaces made planned parenthood back off its plans.

>> if they don't get those parking spaces, right, they don't get to have their clinic here. right? >> we want planned parenthood out of redwood city. >> reporter: the clinic opens tomorrow. but patients may have to make their way through some protestors. in redwood city, ryan takeo, kpix 5. >> protestors say 1600 people have already signed a petition demanding the property owner evict planned parenthood. the owner has not responded. new this morning, images that give a close-up look at that deadly train crash in new york city over the weekend. the pictures show toppled train cars and the mangled tracks left behind. the train went off the tracks at a curve in the bronx on sunday. the speed limit for the turn 30 miles per hour. the train was traveling at nearly 3 times that speed. >> the train was traveling at approximately 82 miles per hour as it went into a 30-mile-an- hour curve. >> the engineer has been questioned from the train. investigators are now trying to

figure out if it was operator error or mechanical failure that caused the crash. four peopl were killed. police are looking for a 17- year-old who escaped from a juvenile detention center in san francisco. police say the boy ran off from the facility on woodside avenue between 6:30 and 7:00 last night. there is no word on how he escaped or why he had been detained. time now 6:10. it's the latest incident in an alarming string of shark attacks. and the man killed wasn't even in the watered. how friends and first responders tried to save the victim who wasn't even in the water. >> the tactic to give trees new life after they have been chopped down. coming up. >> cold air headed our way. we are looking at a deep freeze settling in. we'll talk about that coming up. >> be careful through the dublin grade this morning. winds are really gusting up. we can see it in our camera and it's slowing down traffic, as well. we'll have more on that, but first, we still want to know what drives you crazy during your commute. you can ask a question or share

road exit it looks better on the sensors. and eastshore clear through berkeley and the maze. that's your latest "kcbs traffic." with more on your cold forecast, here's lawrence. >> a couple of days ago we were talking about record high temperatures. today we are going to be struggling to get in the 50s in the bay area. a cold front bringing with it scattered light showers. nothing too heavy but still more showers beginning to make their way into parts of the north bay but widely scattered and then behind that, we have all that cold air that is going to settle into the bay area and in the next couple of days here making for freezing temperatures especially at night. by day, we are talking with some chilly temperatures highs in the 40s and the 50s. and then overnight lows plunging to the 20s and the 30s tonight into tomorrow morning. maybe even colder as we head in toward thursday morning. this is what we have going on. cold air diving in out of the gulf of alaska waiting for this cold front to pass on through. once it moves by, that is going to open the door to all that cold air moving into our

neighborhood. so get ready, this will be the codest outbreak of the season so far. temperatures into the central valley only in the 50s, showers here snow in the higher elevations, snow level 3,000 feet this afternoon. grab chains up there. the cold front moving through this morning. this afternoon skies clearing out blustery now but i think those winds subside overnight tonight so that means we are in for a clear and cold night and that's why these temperatures are really going to drop off maybe a hard freeze in some of the north bay valleys and the delta. temperatures in the 50s in the south bay, east bay numbers in the 50s, as well. then inside the bay we'll have those temperatures into the 50s. so a cold day ahead even colder as we head in toward the next couple of days and thursday, wow, these temperatures really going to bottom out. then a chance of showers as we look toward friday. unsettled in the latter part of the weekend. by the way, sunrise time 7:09. sunset 4:51. but wow, this weather is going to be cold. >> i know. i get chilly when you talk about it. >> just my personality.

but the delays it's causing are both directions. we'll have a full "kcbs traffic report" coming up. good morning, everybody. shake-up day in the a's organization. second basema jemile weeks is gone followed by colon and balfour. last night, the a's acquired closer jim johnson from the baltimore orioles for weeks. johnson had 101 saves in the last two seasons with baltimore. the move means that grant balfour won't return. the a's also have signed starting pitcher scott kazmir to a two-year, $22 million deal. last season, he was with the indians and this means that pitcher colon won't come back so fans in seattle screaming for washington native fred couples who raised the 12th man flag. defense absolutely dominates the saints high-powered offense. drew brees fumbles on the pass attempt. and picks off in the air by michael bennett who recovers, 22 yards for the score. 34-7. seahawks win. they are 11-1. they lead the 49ers by 3 games

in the west. wasn't all roses for football fans in seattle. washington head coach steve sarkisyan accepts the usc vacancy. he was with the trojans before moving to seattle. ucs's interim head coach was hoping to get the job. he didn't get it. so he said, sayonara. i'm not coming back. not even for the bowl game. he is out. as for frank mallicoat, he is also out eliminated from play- off contention in the fantasy football kpix 5 league. i'm dennis o'donnell, have a great day, everybody. >> important to note, i beat dennis! >> okay. >> head to head. >> but you're still out of the play-offs. he is really the winner here. in the play of the day, a freshman nappier is making a name for himself among nba scouts as one of the most clutch players in the nation. look at the point guard's thrilling finish. uconn beat florida.

>> he got it! >> that was quick. but effective. nappier finished with 26 points yesterday. uconn remains undefeated with the 65-64 victory. we are going to get another look as he goes in and a clutch little shot right there. they beat florida last night for your play of the day. the grounds was shaking in seattle last night but it wasn't an earthquake. seahawks fans got so loud during the monday night game with the saints, it registered as a quake at a recording station about a block from the stadium. it was between a magnitude 1 and 2. seattle fans are no strangers to this type of thing, though. they set a world record for noise at an outdoor stadium in september. >> they are good. >> awesome. >> 9ers play them this week. 6:26. the newly relaunched healthcare.gov undergoes its first big test. coming up how the site held up. >> and freezing temperatures are on the way to the bay area.

morning in the sierra. chp issued their chain requirements on highways 50, 88 and 89 and we have wind advisories closer to home. much more on the morning commute coming up. thank you. good morning, everyone. it's tuesday, december 3. i'm frank mallicoat. >> i'm michelle griego. time n 6:31. homeless in santa clara county ride a bus the only vta line that runs 24 hours a day. kiet do road the bus that many call hotel 22 and kiet, you rode it overnight. >> reporter: yeah. for a couple of bucks you can get a safe warm dry place to stay overnight. this is a story that we have been wanting to tell for quite some time. it turns out in the south bay, when it gets to freezing cold temperatures and you're homeless you don't have a lot of options. it's the first cold wet night of the season in san jose. and the shelters are full. but there is one place with

vacancies. welcome to route 22, the vta bus line that goes 25 miles from eastridge mall to palo alto and back. it runs 24 hours a day and around midnight it takes on a different name, hotel 22. >> because it's safer to be on that bus than it is to be anywhere else. and so it's become by default a shelter. it's just a moving shelter. >> reporter: for james breslin a 55-year-old former tech worker who has fallen on hard times this warm dry place for the nice cost him $2.50. if he weren't here, he says he would stay warm by sleeping next to a pg&e transformer box. >> safer than being out on the streets. warmer than being out on the streets. i don't want to have to ride the bus all night. but it's just got the best thing going that i know of besides going to a hospital. >> reporter: the vta doesn't have good estimates on how many or how long the homeless have been riding route 22, only that it's been going on for years. the agency says they don't restrict anyone as long as they

pay the fare. >> it's really tragic when you think about the amount of innovation and creativity and power and money we have in this community. we still have people riding a bus at night to stay safe for shelter. >> reporter: 5,000 people are homeless on the streets of san jose on any given night. as the temperature dips below freezing this week, expect those seats to fill up. passing through some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, james says don't judge. >> don't feel sorry. help. then you won't have to feel sorry. [ laughter ] >> reporter: all righty. so we are back here live in sunnyvale. this is one of the cold shelters that opened up yesterday one of three locations in the south bay. 275 beds. they woke them up at 5:00. everybody has been shipped off now. they are cleaning up in there getting ready for the next night, at the temperatures drop to freezing we are definitely thinking about a lotful people

who have to spend their nights and days in the cold weather. >> we understand the vta is not being very talkative about the existence of this all night bus line? >> reporter: yeah. we reached out to them for this story. really wanted to hear from them what they had planned for this line, what are they going to do, restrict the line. they didn't want to talk because they didn't want to encourage more riders. >> we're glad it's helping out. kiet do live in sunnyvale, thank you. sadly the cold temperatures are really coming in, right? >> yeah. >> today not so bad. >> we haven't gotten the cold air just yet. we have some showers out there now. the temperatures a little chilly in spots. as the cold front swings by though it's going to bring in arctic air into the bay area. starting out with showers early on on our hi-def doppler radar. you can see another band of moisture just about to make its way in along the peninsula. some of those showers just south of half moon bay. and, of course, we have some more scattered showers around the bay area but the rain not going to be the real big concern today. you may see showers early on but the temperatures going to

be the story toward the afternoon. cloudy skies now and numbers holding in the 40s and the 50s. and not going to be much warmer than this in the afternoon hours. freeze watches going up for tonight. overnight lows tonight into tomorrow morning you're going to see clear skies, not going to see the winds. overnight low will plummet to 20s and the 30s. maybe even colder as we head in toward thursday morning. temperatures for highs today will only be in the 50s. more on your cold weather coming up. let's check your "kcbs traffic" with elizabeth. >> thanks, lawrence. it's kind of a rough commute already through the altamont pass into the livermore valley. there is a truck that dropped a load of sheet metal and debris in the roadway. it sounds like it's near the north flynn exhibit. it's also breezy. the camera kind of moving back and forth, looks like that toward the dublin grade. chp issued a couple of wind advisories one for the san mateo bridge bridge, also one for interstate 80 on the carquinez bridge. be careful this morning. san mateo bridge traffic looks great so far heading out of hayward.

but it's typically later in the morning commute we start to see the delays on the flat section in the high-rise of the span. westbound 24 looks good from th maze. 20-minute wait on the bay bridge toll plaza. that's your latest "kcbs traffic report." back to you guys. officials in sonoma county will take up a proposal to build a park as a memorial to andy lopez who was shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy last month. the deputy mistook the 13-year- old's bb gun for an ak-47 assault rifle. the board of supervisors may approve a park in the area along moreland avenue where the shooting happened. dozens of people who live on treasure island are packing their bags now. they were notified that they will have to move because of the u.s. navy's ongoing toxic clean-up work of low level chemicals on the island. the residents will likely be relocated elsewhere on treasure island. and developing at 6:30, the search for a san jose man and

his family resumes this morning after their plane went missing in idaho. the owner and pilot of the aircraft this man dale smith of san jose and four members of his family were flying to butte montana on sunday from oregon. smith record engine trouble but lost contact with the controllers. he was trying to land at an airstrip in idaho's backcountry. >> he flies frequently so i'm surprised that he's gone down missing or whatever has happened. when he goes on these trips, he stays in touch with everybody and all the airports or wherever he's landing, you know, so yeah, i'd say it's something to be worried about. >> poor weather isic maaing search-and-rescue efforts difficult. his company services the data storage industry. happening today president obama will hold an event with those who are getting health insurance coverage. he will talk up improvements made to healthcare.gov, the troubled website that just got a major overhaul, by early monday evening 750,000 users

had logged on. officials promise the site could handle 50,000 people simultaneously. when the number reached 35,000, a new queuing system kicked in. >> very frustrating for me because i need insurance so badly. and it seems like something in the system or something that's not working. >> the white house says the system works because the website did not crash. but some people had to wait in the new queuing system for hours. emails are sent to users when the site is ready to handle their request. developing news now. autopsy results for paul walker could be released today and we are getting a look at new video of the fiery crash that killed the actor. the surveillance video was taken from a building across the street shortly after the accident on saturday. there was smoke in that video. it started to rise and then it turned dark as the car burst into flames. friends and family held a private vigil for walker at that crash site last night. >> we have road closures,

sidewalk closures and permits for all of it. we're going to broom everybody out of here in 15 minutes. you guys are going to have to -- the closest you can be as consolation which is down the road. >> the film production crew from the "fast & furious" franchise paid for the service. 6:39. if you are getting a big ticket tech item this holiday season think about getting an extended warranty. the pros and cons next. >> and the market opened up about 10 minutes ago. quick peek at the early numbers so far. and we are dead red everything is down. but there's lots of time. we are going to crunch the numbers and much more with kcbs radio's financial reporter jason brooks after the break. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

shopping season, but it was different story fo well, stores may have had a lackluster weekend to kick off the holiday shopping season but it was a different story for

online retailers. early indicators shows cyber monday sales were up 17% from 2012. one firm predicts sales were $2 billion just yesterday alone. good news there. mobile devices like tablets and smartphones accounted for nearly a third of all online shopping. it did. and here now to chat is kcbs radio's financial reporter jason brooks on a tuesday. good morning. >> good morning, frank. good morning, michelle. two companies in particular that did well with cyber monday, ebay and amazon. amazon sales up 44% from a year earlier. and ebay up 32% as both companies profited big time from people tending to shop a bit more than work yesterday. much welcome news for tesla. regulators in germany did their own investigation into model s fires and said there were no manufacturing-related defects. both the fires in the u.s. occurred when the cars ran over debris in the road. a fire in mexico after the car was involved in a serious accident. that could bode well for the u.s. investigation and could mean no recall for the model s and that is helping out tesla shares in a big way this

morning. the company has lost a third of its value in the past two months. a lot of that because of the model s fires but the shares are rallying this morning by more than 7%. stocks ended on a downward note yesterday and they look like they are heading further lower again this morning. speculation again on the federal reserve starting to taper its bond issues. possibly at its meeting later this month due to some decent manufacturing news in the u.s. let's look at the big board and see how the numbers are doing. dow dropping 60 points. back below 16,000. nasdaq is down by 7. s&p down 4 points. back below 1800. michelle and frank, back to you. >> all right. kcbs radio's financial reporter jason brooks thank you. 6:44. let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> thanks, guys. it is rough going right now heading out of tracy towards the altamont pass. a truck spilled some sort of scrap metal other debris and it's blocking the middle lanes so it is super stacked upcoming off the 205. and until you get past the north flynn exit and beyond that, traffic is just

gridlocked this morning. it looks like past that vasco road exit we really start to see those speed sensors improve towards the dublin interchange. so again, this is where the scrap metal debris is blocking lanes and that's where we're really seeing the real bottleneck. also in the east bay westbound 24 if you are heading toward the macarthur maze here's what it looks like through oakland. pretty good. bay bridge toll plaza stacked up for 20 minutes. here's a live look at the san mateo bridge. we just cleared a crash or chp just cleared a crash before the toll plaza on the san mateo bridge. now it sounds like there's a new one so traffic is beginning to stack up towards clawiter on westbound 92. once you got past the pay gates westbound 92 looks good toward the high-rise on the flat section. nimitz freeway 880 in oakland which has been a great ride this morning from hayward all the way to your downtown oakland exits. when you hit the road tune to kcbs radio 740-am and 106.9-fm. with more on your temperatures, here's lawrence.

>> big change in the weather coming our way. some freezing temperatures developing over the next couple of days. cold front swinging into town. our kpix 5 high-def doppler radar is tracking scattered showers now. widely scattered but you get the idea this cold front swinging on through willisher in a big change in the weather especially into the afternoon. so skies are mostly cloudy now. some scattered showers outside, partsly cloudy this afternoon. tonight winds subside. the skies are going to clear out and we're talking freezing temperatures in many parts of the bay area. definitely in the valleys and maybe inside the bay you will get close. looks like the cold air is going to plummet into the bay area and as it rolls on through, it's going to stick around for quite some time. so we are going to see several days of some freezing temperatures overnight. so be prepared for that. highs in the central portion of the state only 57 in sacramento. snow in the high country up toward lake tahoe 36 degrees. traveling around the u.s., no delays being reported just yet but we could see some delays at sfo this morning due to some of

the low clouds. i think as you head around the country, a very warm day partly cloudy skies, 81 degrees in houston. 45 degrees coming this morning in denver but snow and colder temperatures by the afternoon. showers 48 in new york. the cold front moving by watch what happens in the afternoon your skies clear out the winds subside and as this starts to clear out you will see cold temperatures developing late tonight and early tomorrow morning. temperatures highs only in the 50s around the bay area for today. i think toward the next couple of days, even colder temperatures through thursday slight chance of showers as we head in toward friday. then looks like another chance of some showers late sunday night into monday. that's the latest forecast, guys. back to you. >> thank you. if you are buying a big ticket tech item over the holiday season you may be attempted to get some of those extended warranties on it. cnet editor-at-large brian cooley joins us now to explain is it worth the money? >> reporter: simple answer, we're not big on them. >> no? >> no.

>> reporter: the editors at cnet think they are a pig in a poke most of the time. tvs are what you think of when you think about it. we are not in favor of the warranties. first, televisions don't typically break. you mount them on a wall and they stay there. so just look at the factory warranty. it should be a one-year warranty. that's standard and we find that that's pretty good. that will cover most failures from poor manufacturing. these things tend to die pretty soon if at all. after that you don't handle them a lot. also, think about your credit card. they will often have an extended warranty on your card to buy you another year. tvs are fragile only when dropped. you won't have a problem if you don't walk around with it. tvs look big, thin and fragile and are expensive but they have a coddled life. so they are not an area that we think you should buy an extended warranty on. >> even in earthquake country? >> as long as -- that's where you need a good wall mount. make sure you're in the studs, not the sheetrock. i have been through earthquakes

a couple big ones. the tv did not come down. everything else did. the tv stayed on the wall. another thing to think about are the warranties are cheap for a reason. you may say, wow, it doesn't cost much. it's because they don't have to pay out much. these are not stupid companies. these are insurance-based products and they look at the history of how often things break, and because they don't break very often they don't pay out very often they don't charge you much for them. look at the number. when this looks really cheap, at least a reason. they are not doing i a favor. >> is best buy making the money? >> third party insurance companies that are selling service contracts. this is not usually an extension of the factory warranty. it's a misnomer. they are selling you a parallel service contract for a third party to fix the thing later if it breaks. typically it will not be the factory. and the retailer gets a portion of the sale of that insurance premium and the insurance company gets the rest of it. also, realize that a lot of these warranties are going to run concurrent to the factory. so the first year is a waste. you have the factory coverage. you're buying double coverage that doesn't get you anywhere. so look at the fine print there. if it's concurrent, you're throwing away the first year.

>> are you seeing more people are not getting these warranties now? >> reporter: i would like to think so. some consumer reports data we saw shows that tvs only fail between 4 and 6% of them ever ranging from name brands to unknowns. the highest failure rate could be in laptops around 14% so if there's anyplace you consider a warranty maybe a laptop or notebook. we don't advise it otherwise. >> always good advice, brian. thanks so much. you can find more of brian cooley's tech watch segments on our website at kpix.com/mornings. time now for a look at what's coming up on "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell joins us from new york with more. >> reporter: good morning. hide, we are at the scene of the deadly train derailment with new video released overnight. plus did you know there's actually some new safety technology that is being installed nationwide that could prevent such crashes in the
